Replacing the door panel on a BMW 1 Series? Let's look at the removal process. Remove the cover of the internal handle (as shown in the video), and unscrew the screws inside. Remove the window switch panel and unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel, then detach the securing clips. Pull the panel away with your hands and disconnect it from the door (disconnect the power wiring and the opening cable). Carry out the desired maintenance inside the door. Refit the panel onto the car door: connect the electrical connectors, screw in the screws, and refit the switch panel. Finally, secure the cover of the handle.
